A drunk man apparently lying in the driveway of a southwest Houston apartment complex died Friday night after being run over.

Police said the 49-year-old man, who appeared to be "highly intoxicated," was outside the Fairfield Trails Apartments, 10750 Westbrae Parkway. He died at the scene, but his identity was not immediately released.

The accident happened about 9:55 p.m. Friday, when the driver of a gray Nissan Altima started to pull into the complex and didn't see the man lying on the ground, Houston Police Department spokesman John Cannon said.

The driver showed no apparent signs of intoxication and was released without charges after police questioned him, Cannon said.
